By <\/span><b>digital transformation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we mean: &#8220;the cultural, organizational and operational change of an organization, sector or ecosystem through intelligent integration of digital technologies, processes and skills at all levels and functions in a progressive and strategic manner&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the current pandemic, governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals have faced an unprecedented global crisis. The challenge for them is to be resilient in the face of adversity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This period saw a massive acceleration of digital transformation across all sectors to meet pressing priorities, while creating a degree of &#8220;normalcy&#8221; in spite of confinement and social distancing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, we need to look beyond resilience and enter a new era. A period of profound transformation that signals renewal, a paradigm shift towards a prosperous future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Historically, the Renaissance marked the transition between the Middle Ages and modern times, characterized by numerous upheavals and paradigm shifts, both scientific and social. Our RENAISSANCE today can be a time of transition, where we release the uncertainty and fear caused by the pandemic and move into a new, reimagined normality. A normality that draws on the lessons of the past, embraces today&#8217;s technological advances and faces the challenges of tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>TELL US ABOUT YOUR RENAISSANCE\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, as part of MTL connect 2021, Montreal Digital Spring is inviting you to join in the discussions around the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a world where everything seems to have changed, is it better to RENEW or REPAIR?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RENAISSANCE and RECOGNITION: Can you name things to better respond to new realities?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the role of government, or rather E-government, in the face of this upheaval?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0What was and what will be your response to the upheavals?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does this lead us to rethink relationships between society and the economy, between media and democracy, business models, work methods, interpersonal communications, inclusion and diversity etc. In short, where are the new possibilities?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RENAISSANCE is the common thread of the event.
